Original 9 holes are all around a nice sized pond. The water comes into play on 4 of the 9 holes. Concrete tees and dual tee pads allow the original 9 to play like 18.

Original 9 holes are all around a nice sized pond. The water comes into play on 4 of the 9 holes. Concrete tees and dual tee pads allow the original 9 to play like 18. Limited length, but the holes are tight and require skilled placement and accurate drives. Course is entirely flat and very righty backhand friendly, especially as it relates to the water. Decent signage the but the holes are fairly close together in some areas so the first time through I had to go double check which basket I was throwing at. I would definitely play it again if I was in the area, but not a destination course. I would grade these holes a B

The course has 9 new baskets and has just installed them in another area of the park. Concrete tees are not yet in the ground, but the natural tees are fine (dry, solid, a little sandy). These holes are fairly short and very compact (would not work for tournament play unless significant use of mandos to keep holes from overlapping was put into place). As new holes, the signage is minimal and not all of the nature tees are marked, so it was sort of a guessing game. One whole 400+ feet and plays along the road, rest of the holes in this area are probably 250 or less. This part of the course will be improved with tee pads and signage, but will always be pretty cramped unless OB / mandos are used. I would grade these holes D+.

Average overall is a C.
